I would use fglayer instead, since you have all the options of bglayer + z position

Now it's gone
This is my setting but I think I've got it terribly since I've never used this. Manual tends to be kind of a headache when explaining many stuff

Yeah, bglayer, fglayer and background have so many parameters. I usually copy n paste these settings from previous ones and edit some parameters.
Anyways, I think the reason your water is gone is because you've placed it offscreen right and below the screen.
Here's a good bglayer setting to create water:
0 means this water layer starts from 0 pixels of leftmost edge of level. You should leave this alone unless your water doesn't start from 0.
40 means this water layer starts from 0 pixels of top edge of level. This is the parameter that you need to set for the water to placed below trees.
3 2 3 is the water's {amplitude} {wavelength} {wavespeed} respectively. I don't know what each parameter does, maybe others could help. But you could trial and error to find best water settings.
If you want to use fglayer as Ilu suggested, you only need to add extra parameter defining its z depth like this:

Hi guys! While I was trying to add a biker enemy I noticed this weird stuff happening. I'd like to make the biker fall from the motorcycle just as the manual implies but instead the entity spawns the mutated version of the enemy I'm interested.
This is entity MajiniA, the one I'm interested to make fall from the bike.
Here's his .txt
This is the biker version. When hit, it will only not make the enemy fall but even it spawns CephaloA instead

you have to change the RIDER to this one, like its is stated on the manual.;

I found something odd. Bikers only spawn enemies without death animations, and since Majini is an enemy who spawns another entity (Cephalo) after dying the Biker automatically spawns the Cephalo instead. Nevermind

Rocket Launcher added as a secret weapon for Jill
RE3 Jill will get a secret weapon as well:

Looks cool. Just a feedback: the zombie walk animation has a misaligned frame, which causes a hiccup.
Kong had ripped all those sprites with perfect axis, maybe you can download his sprite rips. (I need to reach him to see if it's okay to host them here)

Thank you so much for the support guys. @Miru @dai92 About the Revelations games, yeah, each entry is getting its own 3 levels section. This is pretty much like Taylor Swift's Eras Tour in videogame form.
These are all the titles I'm covering:
- Resident Evil 0
- Resident Evil
- Resident Evil 2
- Resident Evil 3: Nemesis
- Resident Evil: Outbreak (1 level from File 1 and 2 levels from File 2 only)
- Resident Evil: Code Veronica
- Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles (1 level only)
- Resident Evil: Darkside Chronicles (1 level only)
- Resident Evil 4
- Resident Evil Degeneration (1 level only)
- Resident Evil Revelations
- Resident Evil 5
- Resident Evil Damnation (1 level only)
- Resident Evil Revelations 2
- Resident Evil 6
- Resident Evil Vendetta (1 level only)
- Resident Evil Death Island (1 level only)
Only 2 levels are still pending until the game is finished

There's potential here for sure and it was exciting to finally get my hands on this, but I have to blunt: the difficulty is kind of insane. I felt like I'd jumped into the final level or something. There can be too many enemies at times. Zombies can drain your HP in literally a second or two once they latch on (I do get that this is how it might've worked in the RE games but this is an entirely different genre. In beat 'em ups, you're GOING TO get hit, and it shouldn't be so catastrophic to have one enemy land one), and by the time I remind myself which the breakout button is because there's so many different ones, it's too late (I usually avoid OpenBOR games that utilize all 4 attack buttons because I play on keyboard which makes this setup a little awkward). It's very difficult to avoid jump-attacking enemies as they are very fast (no startup delay) and seem to have generous hitboxes. Jump attacks of my own, whilst sometimes quite useful, seem to result in getting knocked down most of the time because the enemy's basic attacks all have the ability to anti-air (I suggest making the jump bbox on the characters NOT include their legs, which is how most developers get around this issue). The basic combo not knocking enemies down at the end really threw me off too. Never encountered that before. All of this becomes even harder in a crowd and I often find myself grabbing enemies when I'm simply trying to move out of the way, and that temporary moment of freezing in place is all it takes for a zombie to latch on and near insta-kill. And of course then there's Stage 2 where there's sections with a LOT of floor traps but the same amount of enemies to deal with on top of it, so it all gets a bit chaotic. The amount of healing items is generous and appreciated and definitely helps take a little of the stress away, though they're often difficult to get to because of how relentless everything else feels lol.
I actually rage quit on the plant boss because I literally couldn't figure out how to beat it until I watched the playthough above, and they seemed to struggle with it too. Granted, this was partly due to the fact I've not seen that kind of thing done in OpenBOR before (kudos on the creativity!). Most of the time, it knocked me down with it's attack so I can't imagine even if I'd known how to damage it I would've been able to reach it often.
I do apologize for being a bit negative and the last thing I'd want is for this to discourage you, but to reassure you, this stems not from a "this game sucks" mentality, but a "oh this game could be SO GOOD with a few tweaks" one. Like I said, there's hella potential here and I would've just deleted it and not bothered writing this if I didn't think that! These kinds of issues seem to plague a LOT of otherwise good OpenBOR games so I'm a little sensitive and have gotten tired of it whenever it appears at this point, and I personally play beat 'em ups to relieve stress, so when they have the adverse effect I can get a little grumpy about it
. I'm a huge advocate for "have a hard mode for the hardcores, sure! But don't forget the people who've had bad days and just wanna beat stuff up for fun with no stress!".
I really hope this didn't bum you out at all, and seriously, best of luck with the project! It's a super neat idea.

I second that. this is a common thing even on fighting games.
